This trash can is amazing and exceeded my expectations. It has a great capacity and is very durable. The one piece design with 2 inner compartments makes cleaning the outside a breeze. The sensor touch is fantastic (make sure you have 3 D size batteries on hand). It comes with 2 magnetic labels for trash and recycle, something needed in California as we have to separate trash and recycle items. I honestly can't find anything to dislike about this trash can. Great value for your money!

While still under warranty, the lid stopped working despite all troubleshooting efforts. I contacted ninestars for a repair/replacement, and was told the "replacement lid is currently out of stock. We are still waiting on our next shipment, and although we do not have an exact restock date yet, we will send it to you as soon as it becomes available." They could not give me a date when to expect a replacement which is frustrating for what I paid for the trash can. They would not even give a refund or send a new product. This is the second Ninestars trash can I have owned. The lid on my first one managed to last past the warranty. Given unreliable customer service and poor quality products, I do not recommend this product.

Sometimes you have to dang near put your hand on the sensor for it to sense you to open. But other than that, it's pretty good.

Outside beautiful, inside disappointing
I very much wanted to like this trashcan, as the out of side of it is beautiful! The raising and closing of the lid for motion sensor is excellent. And no other trash cans have this beautiful shape that would perfectly fit our kitchen. However, I ended up returning this beautiful trashcan, because I did not want to use any form of liner bag with the recycling side. This trash trashcan does not have hard plastic liners, so if the plastic bag, brakes or leaks, it will spill out under the entire trashcan, all of the beautiful stain stainless steel will be soaked with trash if the bag liner breaks. I only want trash cans that have hard plastic liners that can be completely removed. This makes it so that I can easily dump my recycling straight into my recycling bin for outside disposal without having to use a bag. This did not meet my criteria. The liner ring that is supposed to keep a back in place also looked rather flimsy and I don’t think it would last five years. If they could sell this with the hard plastic liners for each side, I would buy one in a heartbeat.

Very unhappy with this trash can. The motor stopped working in less than a year. Since the product is within warranty, I have emailed the company and filed a warranty claim, but have not received any response at all. Very disappointed with the poor service.

Buy another larger trashcan so that you can toss this product out
Had this trash can from September 2023 until April 2024 when the lid started making strange noises and would not fully open. I took the lid apart and found that the motor housing had cracked. Reached out to the manufacturer to see if they could send replacement lids, no response. Went back to an old standard non-motorized trash can that can last for years.

Love this trash can
Love this trash can. Definitely recommend. It takes 3 D batteries that fit on the bottom side of the cover. 2 separate/equal sized compartments once top is open to keep recycle and trash separate. Very easy to wave hand to open, closes automatically. Or you can press the open/close button to keep it open indefinitely.

Broken lid within a month
Got for a wedding present and the lid broke within a month. Not it won’t open with the motor. I changed the batteries to make sure they weren’t the cause and then I tipped the lid over to change them there was a rattling in the motor area. Do not buy. Not with it.

Looks nice and very useful
Love, love, love! Works well and roomy! It’s big enough without taking up too much space. Has plenty of room for recycling and trash. We are a family of 5 and it works well for us. Plus it looks great in our kitchen.

It's trash
Not sure how this trashcan has a five star rating. I’ve had mine for less than a year and the top no longer works. I have two friends that have the same one and have the same problem!! It is obviously a product issue. Yes I can open it manually now that it’s broken however that’s not why anyone buys this, AND no matter how hard you try it will not stay all the way closed. It’s great for a couple of months but after that it becomes trash itself

Ms.
There's no removable bin for the recycling so you have to line it with a trash bag and take it out to dump it since you can't recycle them together. It could be a little bigger but other than that it is great. It doesn't take up a lot of space and the decals are magnetic so you can switch them if you want. For the price, it's well worth it.
